A Prayer for Baby

I guess I have not been doing very good at being a good blogger! Sorry!

Everything as been good lately. Nothing too exciting going on. As for TTC, I should be ovulating this weekend. I am not temping, just watching other signs. Everything seems to be indicating ovulation so wish us luck!

A girl made a post about a book on the TTCAL board. The book is "Expecting: Praying for your Child's Development, Body & Soul". She posted the 1st prayer in the book and I really liked it so I am posting it here.

God, I know it's never too early to pray for my future children. Thoughts of motherhood have always had a place in my mind & heart. I'm not naive enough to think it will be easy,but I know I can do this with You by my side.

God, will you watch over my body as it prepares to welcome a child into my womb? Will you work out everything for good and make sure the conditions are just right for conception.

I want to start praying even now for the child who will someday rest in my arms. Would you protect that baby? Would you help him/her grow up to be healthy & happy? To be a child who falls in love with Jesus and never stops growing in his/her relationship with you?

Please give me the discipline to pray for my child every day for the rest of my life.

In Jesus' name

Amen

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart" Jeremiah 1:5

Books

I just finished reading a book that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is by the same author of the famous Twilight series that I have yet to read. I was not going to read the Twilight series even though I have heard nothing but rave reviews that turn into obsessions. But after reading this book of Stephenie Meyers I feel that I might have to read them. I could not put this book down it was so good. Once I got towards the end I made myself stop reading so I wouldn't have to finish it. I don't usually read books about aliens but this book is different. And I don't usually read books about vampires either that is why I haven't read the Twilight series but now...
I think if you liked the Twilight series you will like this book. It is called "The Host".

Bad Blogger

I have been a very bad blogger lately! I just haven't had to much to write about I guess.

So to update you on our life, Lee got a new job. He has been working for himself but he was offered a union job in HVAC. The main reason I like the job is the stability it provides us along with the benefits. I feel much more comfortable trying to grow our family with this job. He seems to like it and he gets to learn a new field of work. The only negative thing is that he will be on the road Monday-Wednesday. But that is not too bad in the scheme of things. It is definitely something I will have to get used to though!

Speaking of growing our family, I am very excited that we get to start trying again this month. Hopefully Lee's new job doesn't interfere with anything since he will be on the road some. I don't plan on charting to start with. Maybe if I am not pregnant after a few cycles of trying I will start that back up but for now we will just go with the flow.

I will try to be a better blogger for now on!
